Patented 111115127, 19-15.

Application filedMarch 19, 1914. -Seria1No.'825,9 26.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that'I, JACOB HARRrsoN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of. Kings and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others, skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to tables and more particularly to kitchen tableshaving an ironing board attached thereto.

An object of this invention is to provide an improved means for mountingan ironing board upon the table so that said ironing board may beconveniently swung to operative position, for use as an ironing board,to inverted position whereby the bottom of said ironing board or itssupport forms an extended leaf from the edge of said table, or saidironing board and its support may be swung below the edge of the tableto concealed position.

A further object of this invention is to provide means for mounting anironing board upon a swinging leaf, so that said ironing board may berigidly supported by said leaf, or swung to expose said ironing board toenable a tubular garment being placed thereover.

Further objects will be apparent from the following specification,appended claims and drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the table with the ironing boardattached thereto, showing the ironing board in operative position, Fig.2 is an end elevation of the table showing the ironing board swung toin-operative position, Fig. 3 is a plan view of the table showing thesupport for the ironing board as an extended leaf from said'table, andFig. 4: is a sectional view through the supports for said ironing board,showing the ironing board mounted to be swung to receive a tubulargarment.

In a construction of a table of this type, it is desired to combine anironing board with the table in such a manner as to permit said ironingboard to be moved into operative position, to cause the support for saidironing board to become a leaf for increasing the area of top of saidtable, and to allow said ironing board and its support to be swung intoan in-operative position.

Referring to the dnawingsin which simi-- l'ar. referencenumeralsindicate similar parts throughout the several views, there-isshown a table 1010f the usual construction which has a bar 11. securedto each end of. the top thereof. This bar has one end of the link 12 barhas the end thereof reduced in thickness and hooked as at 14:, to enablea recess 15 in each of the links 12 to receive the hooked end 14. Theopposite end of each of the links 12 is pivotally connected to a bar 16which is secured to each end of the swinging leaf or board 17 The pivotpoint 13 of the link 12 is positionedwith respect to the rear edge ofthe table to cause the hinged connection of the link 12 to the bar 16 tocoincide with the center of an are including the top of the table therear edge thereof and the underside of said table in one position, andthe link 12 is of such a length that when the ironing board is swung tothe position shown in Fig. 1, the front edge of the support for theironing board is flush with the front edge of the table top.

The leaf 17 has supports 18 and 19 secured thereto and to these supportsis secured an ironing board 20. The support 18 has a socket 221 securedto one face thereof and this socket receives a stem 22 carried by aplate 23 which is secured to the underside of the board 20. By thisconstruction it is apparent that the ironing board may be swung fromover the support 21 to enable a. tubular garment being placed thereon.The support 21 has a socket 24 formed therein in which one end of thetrip 25 engages when said ironing board is positioned properly over saidsupport.

The leaf 17 is provided with a turn button or the like 26, by which saidleaf may be maintained in extended position when it is desired toincrease the area of the top of the table.

The operation of the device is apparent from the foregoing so it isthought that no further description is necessary.

Various modifications may he made within the scope of this inventionwithout departing from the spirit thereof.

Having thus described my invention, I claim v 1. A table comprising incombination with a fixed table top, a leaf connected thereto, a linkhaving one end thereof, pivotally connected to the end of the table, aswinging pivotally connected thereto as at'13, andthis I leaf having itsrear edge pivotally connected with said link, said link permitting saidleaf to bear upon said top near the front edge, near the rear edge, tobe inverted to form a continuation of said top, or to swing underdistant from the bight of said-hook, said link being notched tohave thenotch register with the bight of the hook in one position of the hook,supplemental bars pivoted to the opposite ends of said links, and aswinging 15 leaf supported by said supplemental bars, said linksenabllngsaid swinglng leaf to rest upon the forward or rear edge of saidrelatively fixed table top or said links allowing said swinging leaf toswing over the rear 20 edge of said table top.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JACOB HARRISON.
